Deep dives

The Origin of Best Today

The concept of Best Today originated from a moment of inspiration during a conference in 2019. A speaker challenged attendees to pursue their ideas immediately rather than postponing them, prompting a shift in focus for Shantae Grant, the creator of Best Today. This led to the quick development of a product designed to help individuals prioritize their daily lives, encapsulated in the phrase 'Best Today.' The emphasis on immediate action instead of long-term planning encourages individuals to concentrate on what can be done today to enhance their lives.
